FAQs

What do face masks do for your skin?

There are as many types of face masks out there as there are benefits for your skin. Each type of face mask can help do something different for your skin, and some types of face masks are meant to help certain skin types more than others.


Here’s a rundown of what you should know.


  • Mud masks absorb extra oils from your skin, while also exfoliating your skin and removing impurities
  • Clay masks and charcoal masks can do us one huge favor — they can keep acne, blemishes, and blackheads away, while possibly making our pores look smaller, too
  • Cream face masks are great for dry skin as they hydrate your face with each use
  • Gel face masks hydrate skin, but are best for those with sensitive or sun-damaged skin
  • Sheet skin care masks are super easy to use as you can just peel them off when you’re done, and they’re great for making sure your skin gets more from the ingredients from the mask you’re using

Is a charcoal mask good for dry skin?

A great face mask for dry skin is a charcoal face mask. These types of skincare masks can really hydrate skin to restore moisture to your face. If you have really dry skin, you should try using a charcoal face mask about twice a week. If you have oily skin, and then you should only use it once a week.


Charcoal skincare masks are also amazing for acne-prone skin as the charcoal will help pull out dirt, grime, and impurities that have been left behind even after cleansing. Aside from pulling out impurities from deep in the skin, these masks will also balance natural oils and unclog pores. Mud masks can also unclog pores and soak up extra oils in your skin. Browse through our top face masks above, and see which ones may be right for your skin type.


How often should you use a clay face mask?

Clay face masks can be used up to three times a week, but they shouldn’t be used more than that. Clay masks, like this Lavido Deep Detox Clay Mask, should also only be used for up to 15 minutes at a time during each use. Plus, if you didn’t already know, clay masks are most effective and restorative if they don’t dry out completely.


Keep in mind there are some clay masks and other face masks that can be used every single day. You’ll want to double check the instructions on the package of the product you’re using and follow them carefully. If there is ever any doubt, you can always ask your doctor or dermatologist, too. For a wide variety of the best face masks for skincare, see our list above that brings together picks for all skin types.
